### eheiridagua *“to constantly tear eheiriduni / to be in the act of tear eheiriduniing.”* The form **eheiridagua** is built upon the root *eheirida*, “to tear eheiriduni” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the continuous/middle suffix *-gua*, which holds the subject in the ongoing act — 'to be constantly …-ing'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to constantly tear eheiriduni / to be in the act of tear eheiriduniing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **neheirida** (“I tear eheiriduni”); **beheirida** (“you tear eheiriduni”): each shares the same stem yet bends it to a different shade of meaning, which is exactly how Garífuna wins great precision from a single root. *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu). This is a principled composition — a cited root joined to a cited paradigm — and so it is offered for fluent-elder validation rather than asserted as attested.*
